INTERFACE sustainable floor coverings
Founder Ray Anderson had a “spear in the chest moment” and realised the importance of becoming sustainable. He set INTERACE on a path to create a regenerative future. Now, more than 30 years later, INTERFACE knows that their flooring can deliver great design, performance, and sustainability – with no compromises!

Ray read a book by Paul Hawken, The Ecology of Commerce, which made him realize that Interface was doing more to harm the environment than protect it.
From that moment forward, Ray transformed INTERFACE by rethinking their products, processes, and resources to reflect this newfound commitment.
The journey included many moonshot goals, a change in Interface’s organizational culture and thinking, and a call to action for other companies to rethink their own impacts on the environment.
Sustainability was their accelerant to innovation then and that continues today. To make the progress they set big moonshot goals: their next ambition is To become a carbon negative enterprise by 2040.
They have already made much progress. They have transformed their factories, products, and supply chain – including using innovative new carbon storing raw materials – to dramatically reduce their carbon emissions.
